EARTHQUAKE IN MEXICO.

The United States Consul General Sha-

CITY OF MEXICO, VIA GALVESTON, May,
30.-Two severe shocks of earthquake
were felt here at ten minutes to three this
morning. They created general excite
ment, and thousands of persons dressed
themselves and remained up the remain
der of the night but no one was hurt so
far as known.
Up to ten o'clock this morning no Sec
ond shock of earthquake had been expe-
rienced, and this is fortunate, as some of
the high and modern buildings construct
ed of light, porus stone which is unfit
for lofty buildings, are badly cracked
and might easily fall under ad-
ditional strain. A very heavy
rain fell during the night and
cooler weather prevails. The shock was
much felt in the high building in Cinco
de Mayo street, occupied by the United
States Consul General. Examinations
are now being made of the roof tops by
city official on account of danger arising
from rotten beams supporting the heavy
load of tiles. Recently in the Palace of
Justice, where the courts sit the roof
fell in. Luckily the room was unoccu-
pied at the time. The earthquake shock
has created fresh alarm about the safety
of roofs in buildings of great age

Mrs. Zimmerman in jail Fifteen Years ON
Mere Pretense Of Evidence.
A dispatch from Madison, Wis, 10 the
New York World says: 'Gov. Rusk
has issued pardon 10 Mrs. Aurelia Zim-
norman, who has served over fifteen
years of life sentence in State prison
for numbering her husband In 1871. Mr..
and Mrs. Zimmerman were living haI-
pily on their farm In Washington
County. At the breakfast table one
morning Zimmerman was taken vio-
lently i'll and died shortly afterwards. A
post mortem revealed strychnine and IL
was ascertained that he had drunk IL IN
his coffee. The wife was arrested. She
acknowledged having purchased strych-
nine to kill rats, but denied having adj
ministered any 10 her husband. On the
trial the prosecution sought 10 prove the
existence of "A criminal intimacy between
Mrs. Zimmerman and young school
master and thus show her motive for
committing the murder. This was not
successful, but she was convicted.
Several attempts have been made 10
secure her pardon. One Of the most ear
nest advocates for the pardon was the
wife of Deputy Warden White, Of the
State prison. The prisoner was attended
by Mrs. White during a dangerous ILL
ness. The patient was told that the ply
sician had given her up, that she could
not live until midnight, and she was
asked by Mrs. White to tell the truth re-
garding Zimmerman's death. In feeble
voice she renewed her protestations Of
innocence. Mrs. White was con-
WINGED that she spoke the truth. Gov
ernor Rusk had an interview with
the prisoner soon after her re-
cOvery from this sickness. and was also
convinced that she was innocent Of the
alleged crime. He began thorough in
| vestigation, which to-day resulted I'm the
pardon. Judge Pulling, who sentenced
the woman: all the jurors who served ON

petitioned for the pardon. Mrs. Zimer-

Growing Vegetables.
Sumteryille Times.

Many think that truck farming in Flor
ida will not pay, and have given up the
idea of engaging in this branch of in
dustry altogether. No business will
prove remunerative unless closely and
industriously followed. and the want of
proper management and attention has
caused some to fail in vegetable growing
right here among us. These should take
courage and pattern after our friend
John T. McCollum, of Bushnell, who
has netted this year at least 81 500 upon
less than three acres of land planted in
cucumbers, tomatoes and egg plants.
But Mr.. McCollum is a man who knows
no such word as fail, and when he once
takes hold of thing. puts forth all his
energy, and success is sure to be
achieved. We would say to others, 60
thou and do likewise.

about the field and made their way sew

it periodically. To Albert Ordway, chief
of staff, and his associates, upon whose
shoulders fell the weight of the labors of

for the excellence of the arrangements
in general, and largely for the exact
manner in which they have been carried
out.
